South Jersey Baseball History: Sunday, May 9, 1999
By Charlie Schick
Historically speaking, the most famous perfect game ever pitched in the Major Leagues has to be Don Larson's masterpiece during the World Series of 1956. Larson, New York Yankees lanky right-hander, hurled his gem on October 8th, and required only 97 pitches to shut down a hard-hitting Brooklyn Dodger squad. The Yankees won the game 2-0 and Larson went into the record books for throwing the first and only perfect game in World Series history.

By Jonathan Stokes
On a day when the weather was perfect for a track and field meet, contestants wouldn't worry too much about heat exhaustion. It would be Bishop Eustace who heated things up by capturing the boy's and girl's Division I Championship at the Camden County Meet held at Haddon Township. In the girl's Division I, Liesje Cardillo captured the individual 100, 200 and long jump titles, Alexis DiSalvio won the 100 and 400 hurdles, and Kelly Fox and Kerin Sulock place first and second respectively in the high jump, all for the Crusaders. The boys placed in 11 of the 14 events. The Edgewood girls captured the Division II title while Highland won the Division II boy's title.

High School Lacrosse: Thursday, May 6, 1999
By Gary Steiner
Eastern visited Lenape on Thursday in a regular season matchup. Both teams had already clinched playoff spots, but were looking to improve their records to help get a better seed in the playoffs. Both teams were also coming off of losses the day before, Eastern to Shawnee 21-11, and Lenape to Washington Township 12-6, so it was time to start a new win streak. In a game in which defense was an afterthought, the Lady Vikings would be the survivors with a 13-12 victory.

Winning Ways: Wednesday, May 5, 1999
By Gregory "Graig" White
Grip it and rip it! When it comes to the game of tennis, that's my motto. Whether you play at the elite level or are a serious recreational player, the biggest obstacle that stands in the way of improving your game and conditioning level is time. Once the decision is made to enhance your ability to compete, getting fit has to become a priority.
